"Father?" Leo immediately noticed the word, and for a moment did not know how to respond.

And the other people in the field, including Puser, didn't seem to know this woman, and they all looked puzzled.

It was the Archon Petain Tolfan who reacted the fastest, ran over with a puff of smoke, knelt directly on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "The Governor of Chenluhr District, and the Archon of Kaiyan City, Missis Betan Tolfan has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Alice!"

Although Petain Torfan is only a lowly lord, he is the highest regional governor sent by the Imperial Executive Yuan, and his own status can be ranked in the top 100 in the entire bureaucratic system, so Alice quickly recognized him and nodded: "It's Petain Torfan, I haven't seen you for a long time, no need to be polite, please get up." ”

Petain Torfan stood up and asked cautiously, "Your Royal Highness Princess, why did you suddenly ......?"

Alice, of course, understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's to replace my father's spring patrol." ”

Only then did Pétain Torfan realize that in the Culente Empire, there was indeed a tradition of spring tours. The royal family would send personnel to make national tours from time to time, but in the past few years in the Ruhr area, he has never received a single envoy. After all, the Ruhr area is only a poor border area, and it is close to the sand sea, except for a few foreign races, there is no border trouble at all, so the empire does not pay attention to it, and no one wants to come to patrol.

"It's too careless...... "Petain Torfan never imagined that someone would really come, and it was Her Royal Highness the Princess, wiped the cold sweat on her head and said: "Why didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess inform the minister in advance, so that the minister could get ready, it was really rude." ”

"If you give advance notice, you lose the meaning of the spring tour. Alice replied, seeing that the other party was quite flustered, and added: "The taxes in the Ruhr area have been paid in full and in a very timely manner in recent years, and I can also feel the stability and prosperity of the people along the way." This is the credit of the emperor, and I will report it to my father truthfully after the spring tour. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess has won the award, this is the duty of the minister. Petain Torfan's seemingly peaceful answer actually became very excited in his originally apprehensive heart. If Alice can say a few kind words for herself from His Majesty the Emperor, she may have a good chance of being promoted and entering the Executive Yuan. Even if he can't, at least he can be transferred to the central and southern regions, and he has long been in the Ruhr region, a poor and remote country.

I learned that the person who came turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess. A group of nobles immediately greeted them, and all kinds of sycophants poured out like a tide.

Alice copes with it skillfully, with a kind attitude, which makes everyone feel like a spring breeze, and the etiquette standards are like textbooks, which can see that she has a very good royal upbringing. And Anna tried to interject several times, but she didn't get a chance, in this case, even if she didn't know the seriousness. Don't dare to mess around at will.

After a while, the nobles finally quieted down, and Alice shifted her gaze to Leo on the stage, and said, "This ...... Mr. Mage. I'm very interested in what you just said, can you tell me more about it?"

Before Leo could reply, Anna was already screaming, "Sister Alice, that guy is Leo Minehir!"

"Oh, he's playing with you?" Alice looked into Leo's gaze, and immediately became a little strange.

Anna apparently didn't quite understand the true meaning of the word toying. Pointing at Leo angrily: "Yes! It's him! Sister, you want to avenge me!"

"Playing with ...... What's going on......" The gossip hearts of the nobles instantly burned, especially the women, and they all looked at Leo. In their opinion. Maybe a wonderful emotional entanglement drama is about to kick off.

"Don't worry, if the situation is really what you say, I will definitely avenge you. Alice patted Anna on the head and walked towards Leo.

Seeing Anna, Leo was already very headache, and now a princess appeared, and immediately touched his forehead with his hand, feeling that the situation was completely beyond his control. There was no way, so he had to turn his head and ask Pusser: "What is the relationship between Anna and Her Royal Highness this princess?"

"Anna's mother is the queen's own sister, so the two of them should be cousins. Pusher explained, and then asked with some concern, "Leo, what exactly did you do to Anna?"

"Didn't do anything! It's all ......" Leo was about to say blood, but when it came to his lips, he changed it to: "Misunderstanding!"

At this time, Alice had already walked up to Leo: "Misunderstanding?

At this moment, Leo had already regained his composure, bowed and saluted: "I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the matter between me and Miss Anna is indeed a misunderstanding. ”

Anna suddenly screamed: "How could it be a misunderstanding! Sister Alice, don't believe him, this person is a shameless liar! He also wanted to steal the Tears of the Stars before......"

Alice said without looking back: "Anna, I will take care of this matter, you don't talk yet." ”

"Okay......" Anna replied in a low voice, as if she was a little afraid of Alice.

With an incomprehensible smile, Alice asked, "Leo Minethiel, right?" ”

"It's down there. Leo nodded, as a time-traveler, he naturally lacked reverence for the powerful people of this world.

Alice was visibly surprised by Leo's appearance. As an imperial princess, she had seen too many people trembling in front of her, so nervous that she couldn't say anything at all, but this civilian boy in front of her could be so calm.

"Interesting people. Alice's perception of Leo immediately rose a notch, but she still said sternly: "Now I ask you, have you deceived Anna?"

Leo replied with a wry smile: "Yes......"

Ellie continued to ask without pause, "Did you treat her rudely?"

"There is ......," the wry smile on Leo's face intensified.

"Is there a ......?"

Before Alice could finish speaking, Leo suddenly realized that he was falling into the rhythm of the opposite, and hurriedly interrupted: "That's not the case at all!"

The middle-aged man behind the princess frowned and said, "Pay attention to your attitude and words. ”

Although it was just a faint sentence, the middle-aged man made Leo feel a sense of shock, and immediately slowed down his attitude, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, can you let me tell me about the whole thing?"

Anna finally couldn't take it anymore. He said angrily: "You still have the face to say shameless liar!"

"Anna, we can disagree with him, but we can't deprive him of the right to speak. Alice turned to the girl, then looked at Leo, "Now please speak, I'm listening to you." ”

Leo suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and if he could say such words, His Royal Highness the princess in front of him should be a reasonable person. He sorted out his words, from meeting Anna at the hotel to being mistaken for stealing, to the conversation in the exam room, and the conflict when the results were announced.

The aristocrats who watched the excitement were suddenly disappointed. Leo shouldn't lie in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, so the expected emotional entanglement not only did not appear, but instead evolved into a child's conflicting plot, which is really boring.

Alice listened attentively, hummed noncommittally, and asked Anna instead, "Is that what he said?"

"Yes......" Under Alice's gaze, the girl could only answer truthfully, but then protested: "Sister! But he ......"

Without giving Anna the continuation of the speech, Alice looked into Leo's eyes. "However, as a man, you do not have any gentlemanly demeanor, but treat a beautiful young lady by deception. And without remorse, do you admit it?"

Although in this matter, everyone can see that Anna is at fault first, but in front of the princess. Of course, no one will stand up for Leo. In fact, Alice doesn't really want to treat Leo as well, it's just that Anna's mother is also her aunt. and Anna's extremely protective and powerful grandfather, who had to give Leo some punishment to deal with.

"As long as it's not a crime to play with......" Although there are some grievances, but the person is a princess, Leo can only choose to accept: "That's true." ”

"Since you admit it, be prepared to accept the punishment. Alice pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly said to the man behind her, "Ryan......"

"The minister is here. The middle-aged man bowed slightly.

Leo couldn't help but be startled, this man gave him a terrible feeling, what did the princess want to do?

Unexpectedly, Alice just stretched out her hand and said, "Bring your flask." ”

"This ......" The man hesitated suddenly, looking obviously quite reluctant.

Alice hooked her hand and urged, "Hurry up, don't worry, go back to Gaswell, and I will make it up to you." ”

The man sighed helplessly, took out a metal flask from his arms, and handed it over.

Alice took the flask, twisted the lid, handed it to Leo again, and said, "Drinking the jug without a drop of wine is counted as atonement, are you willing to accept it?"

Leo thought that the other party was going to let the man beat him up, but who wanted to let himself drink, but this was just in his hands, so he immediately nodded and said, "I accept it." ”

"Sister, is this the end?" said Anna, dissatisfied.

Alice smiled slyly and whispered something in the girl's ear, which immediately made the other party smile. Then she said to Leo: "Drink now, Mr. Mage, and I am very interested in your previous opinion, and I hope you will come to the mansion of Viscount Cutavas at nine o'clock tomorrow and explain it to me in detail." ”

Leo suddenly felt as if he had been caught in some kind of conspiracy, but he could not turn back, so he could only respond, "As you wish, Your Highness the Princess." ”

"As I said beforehand, my time is very valuable, and if you come late, you may be punished very severely. Alice added seemingly casually.

At the same time, the man lowered his head slightly, hiding his can't help but laugh, Her Royal Highness the princess's bad taste is really as rich as ever, that pot of "flaming lava" not to mention the young man in front of him, even if he drinks it, it is estimated that he will not be able to get up at all the next day.

At this moment, he couldn't help but look forward to what kind of wonderful way the princess would "punish" after the boy could not arrive on time. However, he could also see that the princess was indeed very interested in the young man, and perhaps this would be one of the good gains in this spring tour. (To be continued......)
